Introduced
by
To amend a law which currently requires a two-thirds vote by the city council of a city with a population greater than one-million to grant a zoning ordinance, by changing the qualifying threshold population from one-million to 750,000. Currently only the City of Detroit meets this criteria, a city which has recently seen its population drop below one-million, according to the 2000 census. A number of similar bills were passed following the 2000 census which permit the City of Detroit to continue to qualify for certain provisions of state law.
Referred to the Committee on Local, Urban, and State Affairs
